The only one I typically go to these days is taco bell because I like the flavor and homemade any of it doesn't taste the same no matter how hard I try. I do make tacos at home often, it still isn't exactly the same (good but different). With the mobile app that I run in a sandbox the prices also aren't the worst in the world and the rewards for free food stack fast.
But burger king is garbage, and I say that as a former BK customer. I think it has gone extremely downhill in the last 5-10 years and the prices have also gone up. It just doesn't make sense anymore. I got a griddle at home and can relatively easily cook up some tasty frozen patties seasoned just how I like.
Same for KFC, Wendy's, Arby's, and Carl's Jr. KFC flavor and quality seems to have gone downhill. Wendy's is exceptionally expensive typically. Arby's is not only expensive but I feel the quality has also gone down. Carl's Jr seems to be roughly the same, but the prices have gone up and the one near me is typically slow so you can tell the patty you end up with has been drying under a heat lamp for hours.
Everything at McDonald's tastes too processed and sugary to me, unsure why (and one would think I'd have a similar response to TB...)
Anyway...long story short I probably go when I go because of an attempt at nostalgia or fast convenience - but not to save money or for quality.
